A drive up north along
the coastal road to Maravanthe, 50 kms from Udupi, is the sandy
Maravanthe beach. The endless stretch of golden sand, swaying
palm trees, clear blue sky and the gush of the sea attracts a
large number of tourists to this spot.
The highway bordered on either side by the Arabian Sea and the
Satuparnika River, with a backdrop of the Kodachadri Hills,
makes the drive an out-of-the-world experience.
At sunset, a crimson sky and golden rays reflected both in the
sea and the river convert Maravanthe into a fairyland of scenic
beauty. A drive further up are the Belekal Theertha falls, near
Baindur.
The Maravanthe Beach is a popular picnic spot and the waters are
safe for swimming with huge but gentle tides beckoning you and
mesmerising you to come and play with them. The pristine beauty
and peaceful surroundings of its virgin beach make it a
favourite picnic spot.
